What to do about the future

08/02/20174:00 pm - 5:15 pm

Mark Stevenson is a futurologist and a rational, unbeatable optimist. He marks the people he meets with contagious confidence, so much that once he even caused a priest to rewrite his sermons becasue Mark changed his way to look at the future. He might involuntarily persuade you on how cool it would be to become a scientist, but most of all he will share with you the stories of all those innovators who are already actively engaging with the future and making the world a better place. From education to health care and the way we produce our food and energy, the way ahead looks brighter than ever. Come away with a changed attitude to what’s coming next!
